Default Project 9P44

Hello everyone!

I have been building this car project for about six months now. Not so much has been
done yet but now there are so many pictures and stuff that maybe some of you would
be interested in seeing the current progress.

The parts look awesome. I will be placing an order for some soon, as I plan on doing front suspension, and your products look better than anything I have seen before. Well apart from some very similar parts Olli has been using

Good to see these parts are available for us to buy, and I have no doubt your business will prosper, due to the quality and design of what you are offering
peace

Hmmmm, I wonder... Would you happen to have a U.S. distributor for these works of art?

Nice work, I'd gladly come help you in the shop doing this stuff, as I too, like to take pride in what I do. I won't hesitate to put my name on something that I made.

Over the summer I overhauled my rear suspension, similar to yours. Solid everything everywhere.

It rules.

Too bad I didn't make all of my parts. But at least I bought them from someone who didn't charge an arm and a leg.

Holy Crap! That's nice stuff! Wish I had a machine shop...not that I would even know how to use half of that machinery, but I still wish I had one...

Based on the information I was able to get from my contacts this modification is practically identical to the well known Audi 90 IMSA GTO engine deck cooling.

Certainly looks a bit unusual. Do you have more pics?

Hi ant771

Just wondering, do you speak Swedish and understand Norwegian?

BTW Great project, the parts you make shows a great craftsmanship.

Well, most of parts we have used on son's project are the same parts. They have been made by Antti. Antti is very flexible, we have had some wishes and Antti has been easy to talk over to fabricate those parts for us. I had one brilliant sifter idea and let's see if Antti can make that as well

Just wondering, do you speak Swedish and understand Norwegian?
Luckily we still have mandatory Swedish at school, so is suppose Swedish/Norweigan is not any problem for him.

How much are you asking for a set of these non-adjustable strut mounts?
